Biography

This is my fourth year teaching at Clearmont School. I previously taught fourth grade for six years at Washington School in Schiller Park. I love teaching and my greatest joy is seeing students succeed with their learning. I was born in Poland and I moved to the United States in 2001. In 2006 I graduated form National Louis University at Chicago with a Bachelor of Elementary Education. Four year ago I earned my Master Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with ESL/Bilingual Concentration. My goal is for all students to enjoy learning and life at Clearmont School. I realize that teaching your child is a great pleasure, but also it requires a huge responsibility. I will do everything I can to make your child feel more confident and knowledgeable of the elementary grade material. Also, I will do my best in order to motivate each student who has safe learning experience in my classroom. As a class, the students will be working on treating each other with respect, putting forth 100% effort, and teamwork. Also, students will be working on goal-setting, personal responsibility, and establishing study habits.
